yeah suprisingly.

but theyre different than the 250s rezzied units. instead of having the hose come out at 90 degrees to the shock body, they have a fancy aluminum elbo thats part of the upper eyelet that lets the hose out at about 45 degrees, and the rezzie is smaller, with a shorter hose, too.

oh and hopefully, the 230E shock is sprung the same, and has the same eye to eye length as the 230s unit, cuz i just put a bid in on one on ebay hahaha!

 

well guys, heres what i ended up getting:



its not pretty, but the guy says it works. who sees your back shock anyways?

plus, its got a rezzie! YAY!

i just won it on ebay for $51, so i dont have it yet, but ill give updates when i get it installed.

 

Nice! Looks to be in good shape. Funny that people don't take the time to wipe it down! Oh well, better deals for us that way I guess.

 

yeah i really couldnt believe he didnt atleast brush it off haha!

 

alright guys, heres what i ended up getting:




fancy needle bearings


theres that strange eyelet i was talking about


stepped-style preload adjuster as opposed the the stock 230s's threaded shock body


NICE welds!

the install was super easy, the only small complications were finding a place for the rezzie to mount, and i had to machine a little bushing for the lower eyelet cuz the shock had a 10mm hole, and i wanted to use my stock bolt (8mm).

overall im very happy with it, and i havent even ridden it hard yet! just not having that stupid bounce fills me with great satisfaction, and the rezzie looks fancy, too.

ill let you all know how things work out after the first ride.

 

Nice, I'll be curious to see how it feels when you get some hard riding in!

 

is the stock shock adjustable?

 

only preload. no compression, rebound, or arything fancy like that.

 

or sorry i ment to say spring mine is really soft i sit on it and it drops 3 to 4 inchs and then only has 1 to 2 inchs travel

 

oh well then that would be your preload adjusment, and yes the stock unit has it.
